Will Smith is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors of our generation. Owing to the hard work the actor put in, Smith has established himself in an incredibly cutthroat industry. However, despite being one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors, Smith had to face immense competition to make it to the top. Moreover, the actor once admitted to the same during his interview with Kevin Hart. 

During his appearance on Hart to Heart, the Men In Black actor made some hilarious revelations, including the time he took a break from acting because of Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson.

How Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson tempted Will Smith to stop doing films for a while

Many of you might not know, but the Oscar-winning actor decided to take a break from acting after the 2015 film Focus. And when Smith made an appearance on Kevin Hart’s show recently, the comedian was quick enough to point out the same. Apparently, Smith had a genuine reason behind it. The actor revealed on Hart to Heart, “I saw you and The Rock whooping my ass at the box office.“

However, one cannot blame Smith for taking a break. It was during the time when Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were delivering some of their biggest hits at the box office. As hilarious as it sounds, the I Am Legend actor even admitted to being slightly envious of Hart and Johnson’s friendship. The actor spoke about how, despite him and Hart sharing the Philadelphia bond, the comedian got closer to Johnson. Smith added, “I was like, he got a new friend now.“  

However, Hart and Smith’s friendship has remained strong over the years, a highlight of which was evident when the comedian stood by the actor after the slapgate controversies.

Kevin Hart and Will Smith are perhaps one of the most iconic duos in Hollywood. Moreover, Hart’s support during the lowest point of Smith’s career proved how strong their bond was. During the show, the comedian even admitted how the King Richard actor paved the way for black comedians into the mainstream.

Both the Hollywood stars share a common background and it is nothing but pure brotherly love between the two Philadelphians. Throughout his interview, the comedian seemed to be in awe of the actor. Hart ended the interview on a perfect note as he credited Smith for inspiring and being someone he always looked up to.
